Exam 2 Slideshow 6 Flashcards
Inertia =
Mass =
Inertia = Resistance to motion
Mass = Measure of body’s linear intertia
Kinetics =
cause of motion
Centric forces cause =
linear (translational) motion only (Float Serve)
Eccentric (off-center) forces =
always cause rotational motion
(sometimes linear motion, too) (Jump topspin serve)
Eccentric Forces: Torque
(a.k.a. moment of force)
Torque is the turning or rotational
effect of an eccentric force
Units: Nm
Torque at a given joint
is a measure of =
strength
Net Torque
Torques acting around the same
axis may be summed
Momentum Arm
The moment arm can change
based on the position of the
segment/object
Center of Gravity
COG is location of axis of
rotation when airborne
Can move outside of body
Four Properties of a Fluid
Pressure
Density
Specific Weight
Viscosity
Types of Flow
Laminar
Turbulent
Laminar
FLUID MOLECULES FLOWING
PARALLEL TO ONE ANOTHER
- “SMOOTH”
- “ORDERED”
Turbulent
- FLUID MOLECULES MIX IN A
RANDOM MANNER - “CHAOTIC”
- “UNORDERED”
BUOYANCY
- AN UPWARD FORCE
- A “FLUID REACTION FORCE”
ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE
How does the free body diagram look?
THE BUOYANT FORCE IS EQUAL TO THE
WEIGHT OF THE FLUID DISPLACED BY THE BODY
*F B = V D y
* y = SPECIFIC WEIGHT OF FLUID
Buoyancy and weight arrows go in opposite directions
